8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your WEBANG Pop Up Floor Outlet, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Outlet Not Popping Up Smoothly: Ensure there is no obstruction around the cover. Check for debris in the mechanism. If the issue persists, the damping spring might require inspection by a professional.
